A piezoelectric crystal immunosensor has been developed for the detection and determination of cocaine in the concentration range 10 -300 mg/liter (part per billion) with a relative SD of 10 -19%. Benzoylecgonine antibody, the major metabolite of cocaine, was layered onto the gold electrodes of a 10

✦ Synopsis
A reusable piezoelectric immunosensor was developed for the detection of purified human erythrocytes and erythrocytes in whole human blood. Three different methods for immobilization of anti-glycophorin A antibody to the gold electrode were tested. Coating the electrode with polyethylenimine gave the best results in terms of stability, sensitivity and reproducibility. The other two methods, coating the electrode with y-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and protein A, gave inferior results. Applying an anti-glycophorin A antibody layer via polyethylenimine immobilization on a lo-MHz AT-cut crystal resulted in a linear frequency change for 1 X lo34 X lo4 cells ml-'.
